desertcart.com : Amcrest 2MP Outdoor PTZ POE + IP Camera Pan Tilt Zoom (Optical 25x Motorized) Camera Security Speed Dome, CMOS Image Sensor, 328ft Night Vision, POE+ (802.3at) F1.6, IP66, IP2M-863EW-AI-V3 : Electronics

Review: Fantastic PTZ - Initial look and feel: This camera is extremely well built, heavy metal. While unpackaging, I decided to add an SD card which I am glad I did. Inside were some silica gel packets. Had I not opened the back panel, I would have not known this. It also looks like due to heat during travel, the wires protective casing melted a bit to the silica bags. I really appreciate the fall out proof screws on the removable panel. Inserting the SD card was easy as well everything went back together well. Installation: The stand off arm is well built out of metal as well. The only supplied mounting hardware was for concrete so I bout some lag bolts as I wanted to mount it to a wood area. The safety connection between the standoff arm and the camera was three chain connectors (manual states it could be these or a wire). There was an issue where the bracket side on the camera’s hole was too small to fit the chain connectors so I had to drill it out a bit. Connection: Connecting to the camera once on the network was very quick and simple. Adjustments like IP, time, etc. were simple and easy to find. After getting its new IP, formatting the SD card and all other adjustments I brought it into my Blue Iris. This too was rather quick and displayed almost instantly. I also utilized the sub stream for my motion and the main stream for recording. Settings: Basic settings were easy to configure. Setting up PTZ presets was easy but remember to click the save icon each time you add one or else you risk losing them. The speed of the PTZ movement was fantastic to have such a variance from slow to fast. Building preset locations and putting together the tour takes some initial time investment to understand but once understood, moves quickly. Overall: I really enjoy this camera. I’ve wanted a PTZ for some time and being able to have such a fast, smooth PTZ added to my system is incredible. It integrates with Blue Iris really well. Things I really liked: • Video quality Night vision (No supplemental needed) • Solid construction (Metal) • POE SD Card slot • PTZ can move crazy fast and still be smooth • Tons of settings to play with and fine tune Things I wish were a bit different: • For any of the AI functionality, you must use IE for the plugins • Wish it would have come with motion tracking feature • Didn’t find the AI options to be very helpful as it was difficult to really get it to work right • Does not have microphone built in
Review: Quality, Performance, Technology - Amcrest IP2M-863EW-AI PTZ camera is another home run product. It is a Power over Ethernet (POE+) device which means you only run a single CAT5 cable to it for power and data, however, this connection must originate with a POE+ Switch or Power Injector. The “+” means it requires the higher power (802. 3at) of the POE standard, generally because of the additional requirements of the motors and IR in a PTZ camera. The supplied 12 volt power adapter is intended for initial configuration. The 25x optical zoom is incredible and quickly focuses on the subject. Night vision, like all their current offerings, provides clear images in total darkness. This is a very well built camera, made of high grade metal in both the housing and mounting arm. As such, it’s heavy at 6.6 pounds, so be sure to select a sturdy mounting location. The “Amcrest Pro” app on your phone allows viewing and some configuration settings. Many of the Amcrest camera products use a Chrome plugin, however this did not work. Full configuration is accomplished by logging into the website at the cameras IP address and entering your username and password. Here you’re able to upgrade firmware, manage user logins, create PTZ presets. The camera also supports the ONVIF standards which means it is compatible with Blue Iris DVR software (as well as others). Once the presets are created, you can select them through Amcrest Pro or Blue Iris. The PTZ speed and accuracy is incredible. The camera supports up to 256GB Micro SD card for recording. I am using Blue Iris and did not add the SD card. Perhaps a bit on the larger side for mounting on your house, this PTZ camera would be perfect for business solution where you want people to know there is security surveillance. I highly recommend this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the poe watt requirements? the cam reboots every time I ptz? i have an 18 w per channel switch.**
A: My understanding is that these larger outdoor POE cameras required POE+.  I run a dozen of them off of an "Interstate" 24port POE+ Switch.   POE+ provides 30 watts.    I think 18w is not enough.

**Q: This camera comes with the mounting bracket right?**
A: Wall mount bracket yes. You can buy an additional pole mount bracket as well. We had to get one for a tower PTZ

**Q: Can I stream from this camera live to YouTube?**
A: you could stream it off your desktop while using the desktop app. but not directly.

**Q: Does this camera have audio?**
A: Sheesh…all you have to do is look at the pictures provided and also read the descriptions: 

“Two way audio. Listen and talk to your visitors using the AI camera's two-way audio by connecting an external speaker and microphone. The camera is equipped with a heavy-duty IP67 weatherproof housing that protects against dust and hurricane level winds and rain.”

### ⭐⭐⭐ This is the AI model. Not the same as the IP2M-863EW.
*by C***R on September 2, 2021*

I have the IP2M-863EW and needed a second unit but that model was no longer in stock so I opted for this one. They look the same but I am a bit disappointed with this model. The lens has far more fish eye to it's resolution. The corners of the screen are distorted. Also....the plain EW model will go full screen in the software and still show the controls, the AI model will not. This model just seems to be a bit lesser overall. That being said, this is a solid camera. It has great zoom and weather hardiness. The picture generally has great color. I cannot get either camera to PTZ on Blue Iris 4 or 5 but maybe there is something I am missing.
